About this Event
Recommended 3+
Get hands‑on with the wonders of space! Design and build a moving model that shows how the Earth, moon and sun work together in our corner of the solar system.
Using a mix of tools, materials and clever building techniques, you’ll craft a spinning, orbiting mini‑system that comes to life right in your hands. As you build, test and set your creation in motion, you’ll discover how day and night happen, why the moon’s shape seems to change, and how these three celestial bodies dance across the sky!
Before you book:
- All children must be accompanied by an adult during these workshops.
- Accompanying parents, carers and support workers are free.
- Each ticket includes materials and is designed for 1 adult and 1 child to work together. If you would like to make your own or have multiple children in your group you can buy multiple tickets so each person has their own materials kit.
